DV format
Whether your need is broadcast production or simply the very
best picture quality, the Mini DV format delivers more than 500
lines of horizontal resolution – nearly a 25% improvement in
picture quality over the best analog formats. The tape formulation
is advanced to last longer and even withstand repeated use
without failure, virtually eliminating drop out,
delivering higher output and less noise.
IEEE1394 DV Terminal
The GL2 is equipped with a DV IN/OUT terminal
that conforms to IEEE1394. It takes just a single
digital cable to transfer or copy your videos in pure
digital form to your DV compatible computer or another Canon
DV camcorder. Once you’ve transferred video images to your
computer, you can edit your movies, stream then over the
Internet, or post them on your Web site. Also, you can print them
out on a Canon color printer, transfer them back to your Canon
camcorder and archive them on a Mini DV cassette, or create a
dubbing master.
USB Terminal*
Allows high speed transfer of
memory card data to computers
mounting the USB terminal. By using
the USB cable and software
provided, you can process and
organize still images on your PC. The
camcorder functions as a memory
card reader/writer. Bundled software:
ZoomBrowser EX (Windows) /
ImageBrowser (Macintosh). You can easily download, browse,
archive and retouch still images. Automatically resize images and
attach them to e-mail, arrange them for printing, and add text
anywhere on the page.

SD Memory Card and MultiMediaCard*

Digital) Memory Card or a MultiMediaCard in addition to a Mini
DV cassette. These ultra-small and ultra-light media record, store
